Chapter 1127: The Prosperous Age

Zhu Dachang's chest rose and fell, and he was angry.

He gritted his teeth and said: "I think that at the beginning, when Yanda Khan was here, he said that he wanted to restore the glory of our Great Yuan, how many people were willing to fight for him, our tribe, 3,700 people, because of the perennial war, more than 600 people died, so many livestock, no one took care of it...... Everyone was hungry and grabbed the pasture, but what was the use? ”

"From the hands of you Han people, we have robbed a lot of things, but most of them are Yanda Khan's, as well as his sons, and those nobles of the Great Yuan, we have worked hard, shed blood, and what we have received is nothing more than a few catties of salt, a few horses of cloth and rations that barely allow us not to starve to death."

"In the past, they always said that the Han people are cunning, not bad......" Zhu Dachang has the honest side of the Mongols, his eyes spew fire, and he did not hide his contempt for some characteristics of the Han people: "The Han people are cunning, just say the mortgage, this interest I looked at their accounts, and played for a long time before giving an interest, until now I can't understand why I borrowed one hundred and ninety taels of silver, but in the end, I have to repay more than five hundred taels of silver...... You Han people do business, today said that the building jumped off the sale, sold out of the clearance, but this warehouse, always can't be cleared, after a year, still talking about the big sale, what the owner has run, but no matter how stupid I am, will I believe that the warehouse has been cleared for a year, and the owner has also run for more than a year, and is it still about the big sale of jumping off the building? ”

Emperor Hongzhi listened, his face flushed slightly.

Fang Jifan looked up at the top of the tent, looking like he had nothing to do with him, what did this have to do with him.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes are still staring at the idol in the shrine, is this himself? Is this yourself? This question is quite tangled, he wants to be a big hero, but this does not mean that his image has become a black-faced rakshasa .

Liu Jian coughed, but he felt a little ashamed.

Zhu Dachang took a sip of mare's milk wine, and spit out wine in his mouth: "However, the Han people have also given us a way to live, so that we can no longer succumb to those nobles in the past, and no longer rely on them in order to live." The Han people need someone to mine, and if we sell our strength, they will give silver; The Han people needed furs, so we raised sheep and gave them wool, which could also be exchanged for silver; The Han people need cattle and horses, and we have cattle and horses, so do we eat them all by ourselves? And these can also be exchanged for silver. ”

"Han people, you have dexterous hands and are smart, your tea can make us drink it and get sick less. Your iron pot is also a good thing; and your innumerable vessels, your cloth...... All these can be bought with silver. ”

"In the past, cattle and sheep were our wealth, where we went, we had to take cattle and sheep, if we encountered a snow disaster, the cattle and sheep died, we will also starve to death, every winter, for us, is a fatal thing, in the words of your Han people, this is called the ghost gate. But now, we have also learned from you, use silver to make our wealth, we have raised cattle and sheep, and when they are almost long, we will sell them to you, with silver in our hands, if we encounter a snow disaster, we encounter a plague on the grassland, we lack food and clothing, we can find you Han people to buy food. ”

Zhu Dachang continued to drink the stuffy wine: "In the past, my family of seven, my mother, because of the snowstorm, there was really no food, so I carried her out of the car, gave her some meat, and left her in the snow, because in this way, our family can continue to survive, and the vast majority of people do the same." But now, I am about to grow old, and I believe that here, in this pasture, my sons will not treat us like this anymore, not because they have learned the manners of your Han people, read your Han books, and become filial, but because ...... No matter how difficult it is, now, as long as my children and grandchildren still have the strength, they can earn a full meal for the old and the young. ”

"So ......" Zhu Dachang looked at the two gods in the shrine with a reverent look: "They are my gods, they are in the heavens, or their souls are above all things, they are looking at us with wide eyes, looking at us, looking at us Tatars, these two gods, will bless us, so that we will be safe and blessed in this world, I don't believe in them, who else do I believe?" In this world, who can let me wish Dachang to eat and drink enough, can let my children, and also follow your Han children to study, and be a herd who can read and write in the future, who do I believe, do you see the cattle and sheep in my pen? This year, there are dozens of heads, this is hundreds of taels of silver, don't think that if you don't buy, I can't sell it, here, cattle and horses don't worry about selling. ”

Zhu Dachang showed a look of pride, and his eyes lit up: "In the past, we Tatars, some of them were cattle and sheep, but these cattle and sheep were not worth a penny, except for killing and eating, even if they traded with you Han people, they couldn't sell them at a price, and most of the cattle and sheep were sent by Yanda Khan to collect them, with the lowest price, just some salt and some tea; He changed hands, and then went to trade with you Han people, but now it is different, now he raises cattle and sheep, sells them by himself, and the merchants in the customs buy them in large quantities. ”

Fang Jifan thought in his heart, of course, in the past, how many cattle and horses were needed in the Guannai? Now that roads have been built, many people have become wealthy, so they need cars and horses, and if they have cars, they need horses, which is a huge demand; As for cattle, not to mention, in the past, there was manpower in the pass, and people were reluctant to replace manpower with precious cattle, but now, more and more people are willing to use cattle. There is also wool, wool thread workshops, need countless wool, and the best wool comes from outside the Guan, ten years ago, the cows, horses and wool here were not worth a penny, now, the demand is more than a year.

The Tatars raised cattle and horses in exchange for a good life for themselves, and at the same time, a large number of cows, horses and wool could also greatly improve the production of the customs and the lives of many people.

It's a win-win situation.

Not to mention, there are countless minerals outside the Guan, Xishan Mining, manpower is being recruited everywhere, and many Tatars with strength can also rely on strength to survive if they are unwilling to graze.

People are full, who is idle, fighting and killing, are out of the mother's womb, survival and living a good life, it is human instinct, this is human nature, if robbery can live a good life, then they will take risks, but once there is a huge risk of looting, and production can make themselves worry about food and clothing, who will rob it?

Emperor Hongzhi was very happy when he heard this, he couldn't help it, and glanced at Fang Jifan with relief, Fang Jifan, this guy, is really very good.

He has always been able to solve countless problems in a way that no one else can imagine.

Emperor Hongzhi bowed: "I see, it's the old man who has been taught, I will buy all your cattle and horses, and I will give you a good price." ”

Zhu Da Changle breathed a sigh of relief: "I won't tell you, if it weren't for the rush to get together the down payment for the house, I, the cattle and horses, would not be in a hurry to sell them all, I hope to pay more down payment and borrow less silver." ”

Saying that, he had to let Emperor Hongzhi and the others stay for a meal.

It was noon, and Emperor Hongzhi was a little hungry.

Soon, outside the tent, the woman began to smoke.

Emperor Hongzhi thought that what he ate today must be the barbecue of the Tatars, and he has always stayed away from such greasy things.

But when she came out of the tent, she saw that the woman had set up an earthen stove, used an iron pot, made a fire under it, cut the meat, and threw it into the pot.

Fang Jifan stood beside Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Your Majesty...... Lord, you see, the Tatars are not born with a love of setting up sheep, and then lighting a bonfire and starting to barbecue, this thing, the first bite is just that, eat more, you can't stand it. The reason why they are like this is because they don't have an iron pot, and they can also have enough oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, but once they have the conditions, naturally, in the end, there is not much difference from us Han people. ”

Emperor Hongzhi thought thoughtfully, and then nodded: "I understand what you mean, what you mean is that they are actually the same as the Han people, but they ...... Because of the harsh conditions, they have become a big problem for my Ming Dynasty, and once, as Zhu Dachang said today, from now on, there will be no gap between Han Yi and Yi sooner or later? ”

"Uh......" Fang Jifan stopped talking and was busy laughing awkwardly.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that he had something to say: "Whatever you want to say, you must tell the truth, otherwise, I will not spare you." ”

Fang Jifan didn't dare to bully the king, hesitated for a long time, and said to Ai Ai: "This ...... In fact, what the minister meant was that the Tatars would be slowly assimilated, and they would be like the Han people, and they would rush to buy houses, and the Han people needed houses, and the Tatars also needed houses, and everyone loved houses...... This is a business opportunity. ”

Emperor Hongji: "......"

He muttered for a long time: "Vulgar." ”

Fang Jifan shook his head, vulgar is vulgar, my Jifan, will you be afraid of being misunderstood?

But immediately, Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "On the desert, the land is endless, why don't the Tatars build their own houses?" ”

Fang Jifan cheered up: "This involves the additional attributes of the house, Your Majesty, to understand the value of the house, we must first understand the value of people for certain necessities of life, for example, children want to study, where the school is, the house is there." For example, people have a need for the market, so where the market is, there is a house. Another example is that people have a demand for transportation, and where transportation is, there are houses. In addition, there are many factors to consider, therefore, simply build a house, this is the most inferior, the son of the minister sells, not a few bricks and tiles, what is the demand, what is the demand, clothing, food, housing and transportation is the demand, music, reading is also the demand, to put it more concisely, it is to solve people's loneliness, people are lonely, the house is to solve people's loneliness, so that people feel at ease, so that people have a sense of belonging, make people happy. ”
